Adam Poultney Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Finally I can put this old tool Airfix Vulcan on RFI. The original paint scheme was never actually finished so it never made it onto RFI, but recently I stripped the old paintwork and entirely repainted this model, and removed the landing gear to make it into an in flight model. Decals were sourced from my collection of V Force spares: roundels from an Xtradecal Victor set, fin flashes from a Vulcan set (I can't remember who by), airbrake markings from the original kit and serials are 1/144 36" serials from Mark1 Decals, which is 18" in 1/72. Camouflage is freehand airbrushed with Tamiya paint (XF83 and XF81), using photos of XM649 from the time as reference material. It's not a perfect representation but it's close enough. The real XM649 My XM649 And this is what the model looked like before 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to my other V Bombers it just wasn't up to standard, perhaps I'm just being overly critical of my own work, but my V Bombers are my centerpiece models. 59 minutes ago, SAT69 said: Very nice build and congratulations on the successful repaint. 2 hours ago, Harrywilliams said: Very nice 👍 2 hours ago, binbrook87 said: Brilliant!
